    Theres nothing extreme at all about that turbo.

    That's a pretty common turbo for the 1.8T's, but the ex. housing normally used are the .68's

    I think, if I ever get around to it, I'll downsize the ex. housing.

    depends which side of the fence you sit on.... im used to little diesel turbo's that huff it up down low in the rpm range, so anyhting bigger than a T3 is big to me

    from what i observe, it always seems that petrol cars have way too big turbo's fitted to them - but i guess thats a trade off between having low backpressure at high rpm and making boost.....

    i tend to think that extreme is not having full boost at 2000rpm in any gear

    I would steer clear of the any of the KO3 or KO4 range of turbos, but thats purely due to my preference for roller bearing turbos. The KO3 on my A4 1.8t would boost up straight off idle but run out of flow way before redline. I made an exhaust manifold and 3" exhaust to complement the Garrett GT 25/40 with a 0.60 air ratio compressor housing that i fitted to it. It starts to boost at 2000rpm and makes full boost at 4000rpm then its hold on time! But the low down drivability or lag that is associated with big turbos isn't a problem with a roller bearing turbo of this size. It all depends on your budget aswell...
